Eleven!

Author's POV

One year later.....

"Elena!"

Shaya knocked on the door but there was no response from her.

She waited and finally opened the door of Elena's bedroom and sighed while shaking her head.

"I should have known it"

Elena was dancing on her bed, and music was playing loudly. Her room was cluttered with clothes, makeup products and chips packets.

She was so lost in dancing that she was unaware of her surroundings and she was still in her bra and panties with wet hair.

Shaya turned off the music and Elena finally stopped, she pushed back her wild wet hair and turned to Shaya.

"Ahh, what are you doing here?... I am naked"

She screamed and quickly put on her robe.

"Well, I was screaming my heart out to call you for breakfast."

Shaya scolded.

"Sorry, I'll be there in five minutes."

Elena grinned.

"No, first eat something then take your time to get ready. You ain't coming out of this room for hours, I know."

Her aunt dragged her out.

"What will you take not to create chaos every morning?"

"One puzzle!"

Elena grinned naughtily

"What is it which doesn't speak and still we hear, it's nobody still comes with the wind?"

Elena asked as they took a chair at the table.

"God, you and your riddles... I don't know..."

Shaya chuckled while taking her seat.

"It's your first day of the job... Are you excited?"

"Yeah, very much... I am ready to slay."

She grabbed her spoon.

"Are you comfortable? I mean you hardly remember anything about your past."

Shaya asked looking at her.

Elena's playful smile fell a bit.

"I have blurry memories but I think it's better that I don't remember everything... If trailers can disturb me so much, imagine the whole movie."

She exclaimed.

Shaya chuckled. Elena is funny, full of joy and playfulness. She doesn't really stress about anything and for some reason, she is exceptionally fearless. There is hardly anything in the world which scares her. Extremely stubborn but hardworking.

"Do you remember anything after that incident?"

Shaya asked.

"I mean, you just remember the fire incident and then nothing."

"I don't know. If I try to remember then it doesn't help. Maybe if I see people or things then I might remember."

She shrugged.

Shaya smiled but realised that it meant she didn't remember Liam now. She still remembers how Elena wanted to meet Liam when she came here. She wasn't ready to trust anyone but him.

But after a few days, she forgot him. Her memories always go back and forth.

"What is your job?"

Shaya asked.

"Project manager. It's going to be so fun... I passed the interview in minutes, it was smooth like butter."

She sounded so proud of herself.

"Yeah but be careful, I have heard that corporate can get nasty sometimes."

Shaya suggested.

"Nasty for me?... Huhh... You know me, no one can grab my throat...."

She got up.

"Okay, gotta go. Can't get late, by the way, I have heard that my boss is an asshole...."

She chuckled while walking back to her room.

Elena got ready, with a white skirt reaching just about her knees and a pullover sweatshirt. She left her long hair open and did natural makeup, she looked youthful.

"Dare people say that you are twenty-seven... You look sweet seventeen."

She gave herself a flying kiss in the mirror, checked her outfit and grabbed her purse before dashing out.

"Shit, I am late."

She went on the street and boarded a bus. Within half an hour, she reached the venue, where event arrangements were underway. Her first project was the management of an office party.

"Wow!"

She looked around and saw workers already doing the decoration.

She was excited, yet there was some weird feeling that something was going to happen. She ignored it, thinking it was because it was her first job after her memory loss. She has worked before and thankfully Shaya managed to get back her documents which helped her to get this job.

Meanwhile, Liam was with Glenn.

"It's been one month, Glenn... Why is my secretary looking after project management?... It's not his job... What happened to new hiring?"

Liam asked while crossing the hallway and standing in front of the elevator.

"You rejected all candidates. Finally, our HR head has finalised one girl and she is joining today."

Glenn informed.

"She should have been here by now."

"First day of the job and she is already late... Good!"

Liam mocked.

"Fire her... We are a brand, people are dying to work with us."

"Not with you,"

Glenn said hesitantly and Liam frowned at him,

"I am sorry, don't get me wrong but this is the reality... Many candidates have been rejected by us than we have rejected them... People walk out the moment they hear that you are going to be their boss... We have finally found a candidate who has the spirit to work with all challenges."

"You mean I am the challenge?"

Liam raised eyebrows.

"I didn't say that."

Glenn raised his hands in surrender.

"I don't do anything if they work properly... You know how I work."

Liam entered the elevator and went down. He saw that preparations were still not done.

"Party is tonight and still nothing is ready.... Where the fuck is that girl?..."

He was pissed.

"Foreign clients will be here, Glenn... Don't fuck my reputation in front of them."

Glenn grew worried.

"I'll call, Rim... He will call the new joinee."

Glenn called and put it on speaker.

"Rim, where is the girl, she was supposed to report Liam half an hour ago."

"She is at the venue, Glenn but she couldn't find you... Her name is Elena... I'll share her number with you, please connect with her."

Rim finished the call.

Liam's heart skipped a bit when he heard that name.

"Elena?"

He mumbled as memories of last year flashed in front of him. He shook his head, thinking she was not the only one with this name.

"I think she is the one."

Glenn pointed at the girl standing by the pool between piles of decorative fabrics.

Liam recognised the hair, the same colour and length. Same height, body didn't look weak anymore, lost weight had covered up. She looked like a perfectly carved beauty from the back but her face was still hidden.

Liam refused to believe that she was Elena until he saw her face, his steps slowly towards her. His heart was still racing rapidly as he stood close behind her. The alluring scent hit him before he called her.

"Elena!"

He called her, his voice still in disbelief.

She turned around sharply at the voice and got tangled in fabrics. Panic flashed on her face as she lost her balance and was about to fall into the pool. She grabbed the first thing she could and it was Liam's collar.

He tried to hold her but it was too late, they both fell into the pool.

"Fuck!"

Glenn hissed and cursed at the fall. He knew Liam was going to blow with anger.

Meanwhile, in the water, Elena grabbed onto Liam for her life as he pulled her up. They both rose on the surface and Elena grabbed tightly on his shoulders.

"Fuck!"

She cursed while pushing her hair back with one hand.

She looked at the face of the man whom she pulled into the water and recognition flashed on her face instantly.

"Liam, it's you!"

She was in disbelief.

Liam was still recovering from shock after seeing her.
